Chris Barron & Jeff Cohen Acoustic Tour

Chris Barron is best known as the lead singer, songwriter, and frontman of the Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum band Spin Doctors, whose breakthrough album Pocket Full of Kryptonite became one of the defining releases of the 1990s. As the writer of the worldwide hits"Two Princes" and"Little Miss Can't Be Wrong," Barron helped create the soundtrack of a generation, with "Two Princes" becoming the No. 1 Rock song of 1993.

A master storyteller, accomplished guitarist, and truly distinctive vocalist, Barron's acoustic performances offer audiences a rare opportunity to experience these legendary songs in their purest form. His shows are intimate, heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply engaging, blending unforgettable music with the stories behind the songs and the remarkable career that produced them.

Joining Barron is acclaimed Nashville songwriter Jeff Cohen, a Grammy-nominated songwriter, producer, publisher, and six-time BMI Award winner whose songs have appeared on more than 25 million albums sold worldwide, alongside over 100 film and television placements. Cohen has written hit songs for artists including The Band Perry ("Postcard From Paris"), Big & Rich ("Holy Water"), Evan and Jaron ("Crazy For This Girl"), The Shires, Josh Groban, Sugarland, Mandy Moore, and even the Spin Doctors, establishing himself as one of the most respected songwriters on both sides of the Atlantic.

Together, Barron and Cohen bring decades of songwriting excellence to the stage, sharing the stories behind the hits, exploring the creative process, and delivering powerful performances filled with humor, honesty, and world-class musicianship. Their friendship and musical chemistry create a unique concert experience that feels as much like an evening in a songwriter's living room as it does a headline performance.

As music journalist Charles Kirby famously said:

"Chris Barron is the best songwriter of his generation. Think Robert Johnson meets Paul Simon with the epic lyric sensibility of Bob Dylan."

With additional special guests to be announced, this acoustic tour promises an unforgettable evening of songs, stories, and collaboration from artists whose music has touched millions around the world. From chart-topping hits and hidden gems to behind-the-scenes tales from decades in the music business, Chris Barron & Jeff Cohen offer a rare and memorable night celebrating the enduring power of great songwriting.
